Excursion TO Washington.

The B. & 0. r. r. announces an
Excursion to Washington from all
points on the main stem and branches,
east of the Ohio River, for Tuesday,
March LIST, at the low rate of one fare
for the round trip. Tickets will be
good for return passage until Satur-
day, March 5th, inclusive.
Washington is a city full of inter
est to the people at all times and it
is particularly so during session of
Congress. There is no city in the
world so we'll paved, well built or
adorned with so many statues and
of art. The superb Capitol stands
matchless as the consummation of the
architects genius and skill the Wash
ington Monument cleaves the air at a
height farther from the earth than
any other structure ever reared the
Smithsonian Institution holds within
It's walls the greatest collection of
objects of general and historic inter
est ever gathered together; the Cor
eoran Art Gallery, a palatial build
ing filed with works from the brush
and chisel of famous masters these
are but few of the attractions which
invite the visitor. The long limit
of the excursion tickets permits
visit to Mt. Vernon, the home and
tomb of Washington; Arlington, the
splendid seat of Gen. II. E. Lee; the
National Soldiers home, and many
other places of interest in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Washington.
This is a rare opportunity to visit
the CAPITAL City at a pleasant season
and at small expense,

Worth Keeping in Mind.


The use Of understanding oils and
fats should be employed to greater
extent than is now done for toilet
purposes.
Water is serviceable to the skin in
moderate amount and at moderate
temperature only. Very cold or warm
baths, when used to excess, diminish
the elasticity Of the skin and it's pow
or of resistance to external irritants.
Frequent application of alcohol alb
stracts the water of the skin, makes
1T dry and brittle. and impairs its nu.
TRITON This is also true of glycer-
inc. All toilet washes containing al
aohol to any considerable extent
should be avoided.
The nutrition of the scalp should
be increased by the rational applica.
ton of fat (for example in the form
of oil-baths by means of the applica-
ton at night of sponge soaked in
Gil upon the scalp, and the greater
use of simple pomades These should
be applied to the roots of the hair
rather than the shafts.
Many women have the habit when
sewing of biting off their thread in
stead of cutting it with scissors. 1t
is very bad practice, and will soon
require repairing of the teeth. The
muscular force of the jaws conferred
on the small space measured by the
thread soon makes a roughness by
breaking the enamel and in conse-
quence the tooth becomes defective.
Children should be taught at an
early period of life to avoid the use
of condiments. Their food should
be plentiful but simple. Many a
mother will give her very young chill
dren rich food-pastry, cake and
sauces, and condiments of the most
indigestible or fiery kind-and tell
you her children are healthy and
nothing hurts them. Perhaps the in
jury is not apparent at first, but it
will not be long before headaches, in
digestion of the most serious charac-
ter, dyspepsia, fixed for life, disproves
the truth of her opinions.

FREA TRADE.

The reduction Of internal revenue and
the taking of revenue stamps from Pro-
pretary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as we'll as reliev-
inS the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially in this the case with Green
August FToper and BoSchee's German
Syrup as the reduction of thirty-siX cents
per dozen, has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these rome
dies, thereby giving one-tif'h more medi-
cine in the Is cent size. The august
FyoWer for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
and the German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicine in the world The
advantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in civil
hzod countries. Sample bottles for 10 cts.
remain the same size. c.Ow.1y

ATgTlible SURGICAL Operation
A FATAL MISTAKE.

~t Dt lS
hshed an account of n fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
zeal men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronounclng it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King bad
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the ston-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
In attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar Undesirable dis
trcss in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After q while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies falling to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in ORDER tosave the patients
life al operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DE-. Perl'ier, DR..
Arms, j Gordon, Dr.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliweil OF the Police
Board. THE operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abIomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton OF ne organs was made,
but to lac horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have n cancer.
When too ate the medical men
discoverod that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
IF this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution (for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or S2IGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, hasrcstortd many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question It's convincing

BROOKE COUNTY ASTIK.
Kindling Amendment Fires
All Along The Lines.

The first Amendment meeting
in Brooke county was held June
23rd, and will be followed by a
series Of public meetings in the in
terest of the measure.
Mr.. Hervey addressed the audi.
ence in a most convincing manner
on it's ratification, and several 9TH
ers made short addresses.
A Temperance choir has been
organized to furnish music for
these meetings and the twenty
five voices" will have numerous
opportunities to sing "Prohibition"
into the hearts of the people, as it
is announced that "they have come
to stay until this question is set
tied"
A Union Picnic was announced
for the 4th of July, at which time
speakers would discuss the various
phases of the issue for the benefit,
more particularly, of the country
people. This meeting will doubt
less be recorded success before this
FREEMAN comes to hand.
Mrs. I. H. Duval who is at the
head of the work in Brooke county,
thus lets out the secret of all this.

The great hearted Senator Coll

"There is nothing on earth which
I despise more than the selfish ego-
fist who says your son and mine
won't drink ; let every man take
care of himself A rich man goes
to the post Office and takes along
his only child "a boy four year,
old. He filings down the lines as
he has done a thousand times, leav.
ing the boy in the carriage. But
while he Is in the Office, the horse
takes fright, and dashes down the
street with such speed that his
feet strike out sparks at every step.
A good woman screams out, Save
the child! My God, save the
childP A selfish man says, Madam
it is not your boy go in and mind
your own business. This is
the style of the liquor interest.
Not my child, and l don't care for
